STUDENT DRIVER COMPANY VS COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADVICE

Hey, thanks for the reply. I have considered that but unfortunately my company I work for will not change my schedule to accommodate and Im working 4pm til 1am off on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Good afternoon,

I know a lot of you may have already seen this type of question posted often but wanted to ask a few specifics and get some advice about my situation. So I'm looking to get into the trucking business and want to do OTR specifically tanker if possible. I don't have any experience as far as driving tractor trailer but I have 2 years experience having a CDL B driving para-transit for the state of Delaware from 07-09. I now live in NC and have been eyeing JCC trucking school in Smithfield as they only cost $1100 not that bad from what I've been seeing otherwise, only problem is I would have to leave my current job and be without income during the 2 months of training, or do I go to a student driver company and if so which one would one suggests? Its pretty hard from what I've bee reading to not pick a pretty crappy one. Please guys any input is welcomed thanks a mill in advanced. Also some other things to note is this

1. I already have my CDL A permit 2. I already have my DOT physical card good until May 2018 3. I am single no one living with me 4. I WANT to do OTR and don't mind being out as long as im paid fairly for.

Dude I checked their website and they have night classes/training: http://www.johnstoncc.edu/programs/transportation-systems/truck-driver-training/schedule.aspx

That should help you to stay employed whilst going thru school? Granted it a month longer but gives you more time to prepare for the career and life change.
